Staying Friends With Your Ex When You're a Parent

What Being Friends With Your Ex For the Sake of Your Child Feels Like

A post shared by Hannah Wiley (@hannah_wiley4) on

Hannah Wiley admits that she and her ex aren't perfect. But for this mom, the example they work to set for their little girl far outweighs any issues the former couple may have with each other.

When it comes to coparenting, they still have issues that need to be worked on, but Hannah and her ex are committed to making their new version of normal work for their little girl and embracing their new definition of family.

Instead of giving each other the cold shoulder or making snide remarks when they think their child isn't listening, these exes are showing their daughter what respect and love look like by making the conscious decision to coparent together. "It's a wonderful feeling to be friends with my ex and enjoy our beautiful daughter together regardless of our differences," she wrote on Instagram. "He is one of my best friends and we are always rooting for each other. What we have is a different kind of family."
